Japan have already been able to beat Germany and Spain, 2-1 in both cases, and they face Croatia with the same seriousness they showed in the group stage.

The Croats, second in the F bracket won by Morocco, have registered a win (4-1 against Canada) and two draws (0-0 against the North Africans and against Belgium).

HISTORY JAPAN VS CROATIA

It is the fourth Japan-Croatia in history. The panorama, the background, could not be more even. In three matches, each has won one match and the other ended in a draw. However, the Asian team now coached by Hajime Moriyasu claimed victory in the only friendly between the two teams, in 1997 (4-3).

The other two duels were, precisely, in World Cups. In France 1998, where the Balkan team beat the Japanese 0-1, and in Germany 2006, the most recent, in a duel that ended goalless.
